British Virgin Islands
Once the lair of pirates in search of hiding places for their stolen booty, the BVIs have drawn divers in large numbers ever since the filming of the movie, "The Deep," which featured the historic wreck of the Rhone. Also one of the world's top cruising grounds, local dive operators offer rendezvous diving to cruising divers who want to take advantage of both the great diving and sailing that these islands have to offer.
